Before they enter the House of Commons, Black Rod has the door shut in their face to symbolise the chamber’s independence from the monarchy.Afterwards the House will be suspended until 2.30pm, and then the debate on the speech will begin, with both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition, Sir Keir Starmer, invited to speak.
